In light of recent health advisories to limit exposure to public places we have suspended school visits to the judicial centers.

The 12th Judicial Circuit Court offers group visits in the Manatee County Judicial Center (in Bradenton) and Judge Lynn N. Silvertooth Judicial Center (in Sarasota) to Manatee County and Sarasota County schools recognized by the local school boards. Students must be in grades 5-12 and chaperones must accompany the students. At this time we are unable to offer group visits to individuals or private organizations.


Please submit requests at least 2 weeks prior to your requested visit.
